    Higher TSH levels within the normal range are associated with a lower risk of stroke in high-risk patients with type 2 diabetes, but not associated with the risk of other cardiovascular events or mortality. #Cardiovascular #Epidemiology @UMCUtrecht @Juliuscenter https://t.co/uFllFq8MQc

Abstract Synopsis

  • Women with unexplained infertility (UI) tend to have higher TSH levels within the normal range compared to women with normal fertility, even after accounting for factors like age, BMI, and smoking.
  • Nearly twice as many women with UI had TSH levels at or above 2.5 mIU/L compared to women without UI, suggesting a potential link between higher-normal TSH and infertility.
  • Prolactin levels showed no significant difference between women with UI and those with normal fertility, indicating TSH might be more relevant to UI in this context.
